Rare Pro-Life Message in Prime Time: ‘Does This Look Like Few Cells?’
Last Sunday’s (January 17) episode of Shameless, Showtime’s dramady about a family which excels at scheming to rip off government programs, featured a scene in which a teenager refused to agree to get an abortion. When older sister “Fiona” argues “you have a choice,” pregnant 15-year “Debbie” retorts: “I choose to have the baby.” “Debbie” soon yells: “I’m not killing my baby.” To which, “Fiona”…
No 'Blizzard' of Coverage: NYT Again Short-Changes March for Life
Thousands braved miserable conditions and an incoming blizzard to march against abortion on Friday, and the New York Times once again came up short in covering the story, though when compared to previous years there was a veritable “blizzard” of coverage. The paper’s Public Editor Margaret Sullivan chided the Times in 2014 for its sparse coverage of the annual March for Life, and recommended…
CNN Guest: Hillary 'Victim of Own Success' While Host Spins for Bill
As Friday's CNN Newsroom with Carol Costello devoted a segment to discussing the reasons so many young women are siding with Bernie Sanders in the Democratic presidential race instead of Hillary Clinton, Daily Beast columnist Keli Goff oddly claimed that Hillary Clinton has been a "victim of her own success" as she theorized that there is less hunger for electing a woman President because it has…
UPDATED: Twitter 'Top News' Story for #Roe43 Skews Left
With today being the 43rd anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, #Roe43 is a trending topic on Twitter. When I clicked the hashtag to see the trending-topic page, I noticed that the "top news" item for the category was a study finding 95 percent of women do NOT regret having their abortion. But clicking the link takes you to a Reuters story that is six months old.

CNN's Begala Demonizes GOPers As Wanting to Jail Rape Victims
Appearing as a guest on Monday's New Day on CNN to discuss Sunday night's Democratic presidential debate, liberal CNN political commentator Paul Begala asserted that, in contrast to the Democratic debate, that the last GOP debate had been "hateful" in its battle between Ted Cruz and Donald Trump.
He went on to claim that Republicans argue about "who's going to be more extreme," adding, "if a…
Bias by the Minute: Tallying the Network News Agenda in 2015
A new Media Research Center study of every broadcast network evening newscast of 2015 documents last year's news agenda: heavy on crime, terrorism and weather, but light on Democratic scandals, ObamaCare's failings, the out-of-control national debt, sanctuary cities and Planned Parenthood's grotesqueries.

Fusion Forum Asks Bernie to Defund Abstinence Sex Ed School Programs
During Monday night’s Iowa Brown and Black Forum on Fusion, socialist Senator Bernie Sanders received questions on issues like education, gun control, and immigration, but also faced a rather bizarre one when a college student stepped to the microphone to ask Sanders if he would defund taxpayer funding for sex education programs in schools that allude to abstinence.
Blogger: Don’t Be Fooled -- Rubio’s As Nutty As Cruz and Trump
In a Wednesday post, New York magazine's Chait sought to debunk the belief that Marco Rubio is a moderate. As for why some might see him that way, Chait suggested a few reasons, among them that Rubio, unlike fellow Republican presidential contenders Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, “avoids statements that make him appear ostentatiously deranged.”
Chait argued that while Rubio’s focus on positioning…

Pundit Libsplains Why Clinton’s Sex Life Is Irrelevant to 2016 Race
Give columnist Paul Waldman credit for coming up with a real grabber of a lead: “Get ready, America: we're about to take a long and unpleasant journey back down Bill Clinton's pants.” Less amusing is the rest of Waldman’s Monday American Prospect piece, which trashed Republicans for raising the 42nd president’s sexual behavior as an issue in the current campaign.
Waldman jeered at GOPers for “…
